The Iron Craft challenge for this week was white, and I’m not really ready to contemplate snow, but I did have a lot of craft sticks lying around the house so I thought why not make some classic craft stick snowflakes? We actually made several of these — the girl helped — but this is […]
“Toddler Food” and a Craftsy Recipe Contest
So you know: part of this post is about Craftsy. I’m an affiliate, so if you click links and sign up for classes I’ll get some cash. But I wasn’t paid to write this post. Because, honestly, who would pay for my recipes? I’ve never been a very good cook. Growing up we ate a […]
